Statistics is intense! I didn't know what Statistics entailed exactly when signing up for this course, but with dedication and devotion to the Module Tutorials and Practice Milestones this course prepared me for the Graded Milestones and Final. Love the Tutorials and the individual ability to pick which Professor teaching style matched my learning style. I also appreciated the ability to extend my course deadline due to family/household emergencies. This course was definitely intense, but I would recommend it!! Thank you for allowing me to take a course that accommodated my busy full time nursing and parenting schedule!!

Overall this course is truly solid! While I'm not the biggest fan of statistics, I managed to do well with a 96% and completed the entire course in 15 days. I used professor Katherine Williams whenever I could and she was great for me. I highly recommend.

FAQ

Q: Does Sophia accept third-party payment for tuition, such as financial aid or military benefits?

A:
Sophia courses are not eligible for most third party payment methods, and must be paid for by credit or debit card. Tuition is due at the time of course registration. Sophia offers both full and partial payment plans as part of the registration process.

Q: When do the courses start and how long do I have to complete a course?

A:
You choose your own start date and have 60 days to complete each course. However, because the courses are self-paced, you can complete them in fewer than 60 days.

Q: Where do I get the textbooks for my course?

A:
You do not need any textbooks for Sophia courses. All material is taught by video and text-based tutorials that are in the course room, and are included in the cost.

Q: How am I graded in the course?

A:
Your overall score is derived from how you do on two types of assessments: Challenges, which are formative assessments, and Milestones, which are summative assessments. Sophia’s English Composition I, Foundations of English Composition, and Public Speaking courses also include written assignments, called Touchstones, that also contribute to your overall score.

Q: How do I know which courses I should take?

A:
Consult with your academic adviser at your university to determine specifically which Sophia courses could fit into your program. You can download the course syllabus directly from our site to share with your school advisor.
